    We used to start morning meetings with an icebreaker question at my old job. A friend had just watched “You’re the Worst” and was inspired to say, “raise your hand if you don’t wash your legs in the shower.”

    About half of us raised our hands. The non-washers insisted that gravity caused the soap to wash your legs and feet. We leg washers were not convinced, and a little grossed out, but we were all really surprised to learn the other side of the argument.

      I scrub my legs about 50 percent of the time. Doesn’t feel like they get as dirty as upper half. I do scrub my feet though.

      It’s ether wash or scrub, but for the entire body. What psycho scrubs the torso but not the legs or who washes the torso and scrubs the legs? You people are both weird.

      Up here, in Wyoming, it gets so cold and dry that if you don’t scrub the dead skin off your legs regularly, your skin will crack. It can get very painful.

        From experience walking in long pants during June in Fort Lauderdale, legs can get bad. Sweat couldn’t evaporate, so the root of every hair on my legs got red, bumpy, and irritated. But I was working a job and had to dress according to their work code. I quit after less than a week. 0/0 do not recommend.

      “Used to start meetings with icebreakers”

      Did they stop after the leg washing question or was it something even more controversial?

        “Should Nazis be allowed to run the government?” - surprisingly controversial recently, and a definitive end to the meeting, if not the whole practice.

        Usually they were pretty innocuous. Smooth or crunchy peanut butter, is a hot dog a sandwich, is cheesecake a pie, Marvel or DC, Star Wars or Star Trek, The Stones or The Beatles, etc.
